“I bought the most expensive organic multivitamin on the planet, and I’m
still in pain. Forget this!”

I cringe when I hear these kinds of statements. Back in the early 2000s,
when I was first diagnosed with gluten intolerance, ITP, and a few other
food and environmental allergies, I eagerly told everybody around me that it
was possible to put chronic pain into remission naturally. Instead of
gratitude and joy, I was met with skeptical stares, raised eyebrows, and
humoring smiles. “Sure, changing your diet works. And I’m Santa Clause.” Oh,
boy. Others might have given up at this point, but this only fueled my
tenacity and passion for the subject of natural health.

It’s 14 years later, and I’m still here saying the same things I’ve always
said. Only now, I have some science on my side.
